OBJECTIVE: Cell sheet technology (CST) demonstrates the innovation and advantage by overcoming some immanent shortcomings of traditional tissue engineering. To review the research progress of CST in oral tissue engineering. METHODS: The related home and abroad literature about CST and its application in stomatology was extensively reviewed and analyzed. RESULTS: Compared to the traditional tissue engineering technology, CST has the features of high seeding density, abundant matrix, good biological compatibility, and perfect operability, which can improve the survival rate of cell transplantation and promote functional reconstruction. It is reported that CST has been successfully used in the following fields, repair and reconstruction of periodontium, soft tissues of oral mucosa, and bones in maxillofacial region. CONCLUSION: With the development of CST and combined with the traditional tissue engineering technologies, it will promote the tissue engineering further progress in stomatology.
